The Outdoor Adventure Giving you tips, tricks & recommendations to help make adventuring in the Outdoors fun, safe & exciting for you and your kids.
Earlier this week on facebook and twitter to “Name one thing that makes your backpacking or hiking trips better / easier / more fun.” I was expecting the typical responses of essential gear, but the responses were much more varied.
There was one response that really stuck out: Friends. It really makes one reconsider what’s really important about getting outdoors. It’s not always the expensive things, and it’s not always the lightest gear. A comfortable place to sit down and chat with friends can make the trip more memorable and more fun.
Here’s what a handful of people thought would make their trip better. Take a look and leave a comment below telling us what makes your backpacking trips that much better.
- Friends
- Dependable gear
- a closed-cell foam pad to sit on
- Comfy boots / shoes / socks
